However, I'm sure we're going to need to refuel at least once while we're there so...
What exit is that at?

Jmeng, yeah, we usually tow empty (empty as possible anyway). Hell, that'a another 1400lbs or so that I don't have to drag around. Don't know what your boat holds but it's up to you.

The reason we stop at the Oasis is it's a truck stop and easy to manueuver around. Once you get into Destin most gas stations are a little tight for me to get into. Crew cab dually and 45' of trailer makes for an interesting ride around town!!!

I think it's the exit right past the Gulf Shores exit. I'll check Mapquest and make sure.

Just got word gas prices on the road in Destin are in the $3.60s so I guess we'll hold off on filling the boat up. I get about .30/gal discount at Exxon or Mobil so we'll just hope we can find one to squeeze into. That'll save us a 1000+ lbs plus 30 minutes or so in the morning.

Well, you should be within stumbling distance!!!

Harbor Landing is the two high-rise buildings just after you turn the 90 degree corner on Gulf Shore Dr.
